Bootstrapping ProcessWire gives an error on image resize???

[Xonox]

Hi,

I'm building a newsletter via ProcessWire content. For this I'm bootstrapping ProcessWire via:

include('index.php');

However, I'm getting this strange error:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'WireException' with message 'Method Pageimages::size does not exist or is not callable in this context' in E:\WebServer\greentrekker.pt\wire\core\Wire.php:358 Stack trace: #0 E:\WebServer\greentrekker.pt\wire\core\WireArray.php(1686): Wire->___callUnknown('size', Array) #1 [internal function]: WireArray->___callUnknown('size', Array) #2 E:\WebServer\greentrekker.pt\wire\core\Wire.php(398): call_user_func_array(Array, Array) #3 E:\WebServer\greentrekker.pt\wire\core\Wire.php(333): Wire->runHooks('callUnknown', Array) #4 E:\WebServer\greentrekker.pt\wire\core\Wire.php(337): Wire->__call('callUnknown', Array) #5 E:\WebServer\greentrekker.pt\wire\core\Wire.php(337): Pageimages->callUnknown('size', Array) #6 E:\WebServer\greentrekker.pt\site\templates\parts\newsletter-template.php(69): Wire->__call('size', Array) #7 E:\WebServer\greentrekker.pt\site\templates\parts\newsletter-template.php(69): Pageimages->size(550, 260) #8 E:\WebServer\greentrekker.pt\site\templates\scripts\newsletter\newslette in E:\WebServer\greentrekker.pt\wire\core\Wire.php on line 358

This error message was shown because site is in debug mode ($config->debug = true; in /site/config.php). Error has been logged.

What am I missing here?

which PW version you are using and what is the code in the templates file line that raises the error? Also of interest maybe a few lines of code before that line raisng the error

What you've got there is an instance of Pageimages, i.e. multiple Pageimage objects. Note that when bootstrapping ProcessWire you've got output formatting off, which means that this is what you typically get when requesting the value of an image field.

If you just want to grab the first image and resize it, use first():

echo $page->images->first()->size(100,100);

If you're unsure about how many images there will be, you'll need to iterate over them with foreach or something similar. Like @horst pointed out, if you provide us with a bit more context, it'll be easier to help you out.

For this field in particular, only one image is allowed (and required).

Here's the code I'm using:

<?php
	...
	$newsletters = $pages->get('/newsletters/')->find("template=newsletter, !newsletter_sent=1, newsletter_date<=$now");
	if(isset($newsletter->newsletter_events[0])) {
		$event_image = $newsletter->newsletter_events[0]->event_cover->size(550, 260);
		echo $newsletter->newsletter_events[0]->title;
		...

When I comment the $event_image line, the event title is echoed, so the event is recognized.

A couple of things I forgot to mention:

1. When using a template file (without bootstrapping ProcessWire) it works fine.
2. I'm outputting the result through ob_get_contents, in order to process all the HTML into a variable.

ob_get_contents code:

<?php 
	ob_start();
	include($newsletter_template_file);
	$newsletter_content = ob_get_contents();
	ob_end_clean();

Do you think it might be a problem related to the ob_get_contents?

The file and image fields always return a list of files/images if the page's output-formatting is off. This setting you're mentioning will only affect the field with enabled output-formatting.

Thanks: @teppo, @LostKobrakai

You were both right. By changing:

$event_image = $newsletter->newsletter_events[0]->event_cover->size(550, 260);

Into:

$event_image = $newsletter->newsletter_events[0]->event_cover->first()->size(550, 260);

It worked!

However it stopped working when visualizing through the template file.

I know I could make some kind of condition to use one or the other but is there any kind of best practices, so that this works in both scenarios and the code is clean?

If you cannot be sure about the state of the output formatting use one of those:

$thumb = $page->getUnformatted('fieldName')->first()->size(300, 200);
$thumb = $page->getFormatted('fieldName')->size(300, 200);

It worked flawlessly... thanks for explaining so clearly all it's possible to do with ProcessWire.
